The Pine Bush Seniors softball team put itself in position to win a District flag last week.

The team, which won the District flag last summer opened the tournament with a big win over Washingtonville before being banished to the elimination bracket by Warwick.

They rebounded from that loss with a win over neighboring Wallkill Valley and were scheduled to face Warwick again in the first of two possible championship games against Warwick.

Pine Bush would have needed a victory on Sunday and then another on Monday to win their second straight District 19 championship.

Wallkill Area had reached the championship game in the Juniors division, but were beaten by Middletown on Thursday.
